June 2005
FEMA released its initial plan for implementation of Flood Map Modernization, the FY04-FY08 MHIP (Version 1.0) on FEMA's Flood Hazard Mapping Web site in November 2004. FEMA plans two updates per year, as shown in Table 10-1, with the draft plan scheduled for release in the spring and the final plan scheduled for release in the fall. This Draft FY05-FY09 MHIP (Version 1.5) is FEMA's first revision of that plan.

FEMA will continue to seek input from stakeholders to ensure that the plan reflects national goals and stakeholder needs. The cyclical process will continue with planned releases in the spring and fall of each year. The latest plan update will supersede the prior plans.
The process, methodologies, and recommendations set forth in this MHIP provide a clear path for meeting FEMA's goals for Flood Map Modernization. Maintaining adequate funding for developing the national flood layer and implementing cost-saving processes, procedures, and tools will be critical. Through the continued efforts and support of FEMA's flood mapping partners, implementation of this plan will help FEMA meet its mission to protect lives and property from devastation caused by floods and other disasters.
